To all @atom 'muy comme isle it lrnown that Il, einen l?. Arten-Uno., e citizen of the United Stetes, residing et Slenborin in. the county of OBrien and State of lows, here invented nee7 and useful Inn provements in Engine-Repair Stands, of which the following is e specification.

rthis invention comprebends tbe provision of a stand designed to support en engine for repairs or other purposes, and capable of adjustment to change the position of the engine to the convenience or the Workmen.,

ln carrying out the irofention l aim to provide a stand of the above mentioned character whereby the engine een be adjusted to any position Witl'iout removing it from the stand, 4(museouentiy permitting' one movement to turn the engine to the most ed :ventageous position Witliont any lieavyiiting.

The nature and advantages of tbe inrention Will be better understood when the fol.-

lowine' description is reed in connection with the accompanying drawing, the invention residing'. in tbe construction, combinetion and arrangement oi parts as claimed.

ln the drawing forming part of this specication lilre numerals of reference indicate similar parts` in tbe several 1views and wherein Figure 'l stand.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the engine or Work supported thereon.

Before entering into e detail description of What is liereby sbown desire to beve it understood that the saine is merel;T illustrative of the preferred embodiment o tb invention, to which l do not limit myself, and that suoli changes may be resorted to when' desired as fall Within the scope of what is claimed.

.tls sliown in this specific instance the stand forming the subject matter ot tlie invention embodies a base l0 preferably of rectangular formation with the lsides coruposed of ongle iron bers, tbe base being,1 supported upon the rollers l1 to permit tbe stand in its entirety to be conrenlent-lr7 nlioved from place to place. Rising' from t e which slightly converge inwardly, the standir-.ds at the ends ot the stand being con is4 a perspective View ci the corners of the base are standards l2 neet-ed by tbe downwerdly euri/ed erols spaced in parallelism, and connected getiier by tbe angle iron bere l5, tie letter being arranged slightly below tbe transverse center of the ennuli to equelize tbe Weight. hooked about tbe angle bers l5 et points adgecent each annulus are iron strips l' which ere disposed horizontally and here their extremities extending toward eeob other. 'lhese` strips are provided 'with e plurelitjl or openings through Wliicb snit able bolts may be passed for the purpose of rigidly connecting tbe engine therewith, and by interchangeably tting tbe bolts in tbe openings, engines of dii'erent sizes een be supported as will be readily understood. The annuli are supported upon the archedsbeped members l2 and are flanged as et 18 to prevent endwise movement and casual de'- rangeinent of the parts.

ln practice the engine to be repaired is fastened upon theviron straps 17', the Workman can turn the engine to the most advantageous position, by simplyv lifting upon either of tbe angle bars l5, thus rotating the annnli upon the arclrshnped members l2. This turning of tbe engine een be accom plisbed with tbe least exertion and eiort., while the friction between tbeannuli and the annuler members l2 due to tbe Weight ol? tbe engine will support the Work in any edj'ueted position.

i. An engine repeir str-.nd comprising,r e bese, standards rising from tbe corners thereof. arcuate shaped members eoi'niecting the end pairs of standards., en nnnulus mounted for rotation upon ce cb. of seid arcuate shaped portions, spaced parallel connecting tbe annuli and constitutingl a. support for the Worin, and 'flanges formed on said snnuli and arranged et the opposite sides' of tbe arcuate shaped portions for preventing cndwise movement thereof.

.2. An engine repair stand comprising e base, standards rising" from the corners thereof, depending arcuate slleped portions lille connecting the end pairs of standards, an annulus rotatably mounted on each of sai' arcuate Shaped portions, spaced parallel ang-ile bars connecting the annuli and pro vided with a longitudinal series of apertures` substantially L-shaped straps associated 'with Cach ot? said bars and having their longer limbs apertured and extended inwardly, said straps of the respective bars being in horizontal alinement, and flanges formed on each annulus. to prevent enrlwiee movemei'itI -herc-ioiF..A
